True_Blue 469 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Nigeria can still go thru if the win by 2-0 and if Mali losses to Ivory Coast with not scoring a goal.I belive it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Essien has been nothing short of excellent today. Scored one and created the other for Ghana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHopkins 1 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Essien has been nothing short of excellent today. Scored one and created the other for Ghana. I totally agree! I hope he can continue this sort of form when he comes back to Chelsea. He was one of the best players on the pitch today for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,497 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ivory Coast winning 1-0 atm, however should Mali make a comeback, and Nigeria go out, Chelsea FC have a private jet on standby to bring Obi back. The good news is that his suspension should have expired (3 games ) now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We are in desperate need of midfielders and getting Mikel back soon would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,497 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Though theres probably a special FA rule that says Mikel wont be able to play till he waits another three games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 well its good to see Drogs get another goal with another quality finish, ive got a feeling Nigeria will go through tho. Nigeria are playing against the weakest team in the group and even tho they haven't scored in the tournament yet, i can see them getting a couple eventually. i can also see ivory coast winning by more than 1 vs mali because they are very dominant so far. Plenty of time to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,348 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Nigeria havn't had a shot on target in the past 35 minutes!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHopkins 1 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ivory Coast now 2-0 - Drogba got 1 Nigeria now 1-0 - Mikel scored Nice to see our boys on form As things stand both Ivory Coast and Nigeria go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 yeah mikel header with an open goal and that 2nd ivory coast goal had really changed things. just over half an hour left, things will probably get worse for mali now i think. I see Ivory coast and Nigeria getting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Mikel you twat, I wanted you back! Oh well, its Ghana vs Nigeria in the next round, meaning we get either Mikel or Essien back. I want Nigeria to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Swede 4 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Of course it's nice to see our players doing well, but as you say, it would really help if we could get some of the back, especially for the upcoming match against Liverpool. I think we can do Reading and Pompey (their form ain't the best) without them but Liverpool will be a hare one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Ghana 2 - 1 Nigeria FT What an unbelievable game, that is arguably one of the most passionate affairs I have ever seen. Quality football from start to finish, the atmosphere was incredible and both teams were excellent. Essien wore his heart on his sleeve, scored the equaliser, took up the captain's armband and after Agogo scored, collapsed to the ground in delight. A Ghanaian hero, he may just have booked them a place in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 That was a great game i am happy we got obi back before essien because its essiens home country. This will be the only time it will be in ghana in his generation mikel is 21 he will get his chance. Now we have obi back he will play the anchor role ballack and lampard can cause damage.

James 5,383 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Doesnt look like Drogba or Kalou will be back just yet, Ivory Coast are currently 5-0 up vs Guinee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layla 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yeh lol just seen but hey they both scored so go them Just seen Essiens goal woha!Great goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm really hoping Ivory Coast win the tornament, they were absolutely brilliant in that last 30 mins and they have not won it for ages (16 years) and they came so close last time when they lost on pens in the final to Egypt. For Chelsea i guess i'd like to see Drogs back but i would rather see ivory coast win the cup of nations. What a team. They always wanna score, when they get towards goal, they have 2 or 3 players waiting to tap it in. Awesome fitness, awesome strength, awesome commitment, awesome team.

Layla 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'd rather see that then least both players would come back on a high as well.
